Ferrari sack entire pit crew
The Ferrari Formula 1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday.
The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK
Government's Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ people from Glasgow.
The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how
unemployed youths from the Govan and Possilpark areas of Glasgow were
able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper
equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds
with millions of euros worth of high tech equipment.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari thought they had the
advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the first practice
session, the Govan & Possilpark pit crew successfully changed the tyres
in less than 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed,
re-badged and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of WKD
Irn Bru, a kilo of speed and some photos of Lewis Hamilton's bird in the
shower.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??
Glasgow's just one big melting pot.
